Stock Level Update Not Working

[ayz1]

Just upgraded to 5.2.10 and now in admin I can't set a products stock level to 0. I can set it from 1 to 5 but not 1 to 0. Same issue on another website that I've upgraded. Anyone else experienced this or know how to put it right? Thanks.

Fix below. Sorry about this.

Thanks Al, working now. Thanks for the quick reply also.

Is this fix baked in to the 5.2.10 download I just did ?

[Al Brookbanks]

No it will be baked into 5.2.11 with "PayPal Inline Checkout" icing and Google Tag Manager sprinkles. 

[SimChris]

Okay. (Sigh).

Would be useful to add a topic after each update to show "manual patches to version xx" so I don't have to read through all the posts after each update to pre-locate bugs, which won't be patched for another 4-6 weeks. Doing an update, then having client point out a bug, or me locating one, then having to come back here to find the patch in a scavenger hunt, is a little time consuming.

 

Just annoying customer feedback there.

 

Thanks for keeping the train rolling, nonetheless :-)

Mmmmm....... icing and sprinkles!!!!  :-)

Thanks for the patch :-)

hi, I made the fix as you advised, to allow me to set the stock level to zero,, but now I cannot change the stock levels at all, they used to allow me to set them to different values except 1 or zero before, now I change them in the product in the admin control panel, but stock levels do not change on the website. Any ideas?

Of the products you have changed stock levels for, and notice no change on the storefront, do they use the Product Options Matrix table?

yes they would, is there another place i need to edit also?

aha, lower the level of the options stock, and the stock level will reduce accordingly, apologies, sorted now. Thank you for your help

Bring the product up for editing, on the Options tab, make sure the Options Matrix table is showing. Set the stock level for each option combination.

@Al, with respect to post #2, I see the change as partly complete:

 

From testing for empty, but keep the integer 0 or the float 0.0

To testing for empty, but keep the string '0' or the string '0.0' (as web forms submit only strings)

 

does not allow for the possibility of keeping any other response that could be seen as numerically zero: '.0', '0.0000', etc.

 

I suggest:

if (empty($record[$r]) && !is_numeric($record[$r])) {

 

This keeps any empty value that looks numeric.
